User:NeoAmsterdam/Customize Mini vMac's disk image

From OLPC

Contents

Note

The Mini vMac activity has been crippled (relative to the "standard" version):

It can access only one disk image.

Its use of a compressed disk image slows down performance significantly.

Mini vMac has no "breakout" support - any file created under emulation will be inaccessible from the XO (and vice-versa).

Requirements

This process, application, or procedure involves a ROM image.ROMs are subject to copyright. If you do not own the ROM, then you are not entitled to the ROM image. Do not contact me about ROMs.
